Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Girls

Style: Cute

Interlock Knit

What was your inspiration?

My girly girls love to wear dresses and do the monkey bars. In the hot summer months, leggings just weren't cutting it and regular shorts were too bulky so I decided to come up with these as a solution and they are perfect! No harm in making them cute either...

What are you most proud of?

Using what I learned from Meg to branch out and make my own knit pattern!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make sure you have a fabric that has enough stretch and definitely stabilize the center seam

A Further note: I used KS3341 and a 4 way stretch, lightweight fabric even though the pattern says it's for woven only. Works really well and I love the fact that there are no pant legs to ride up! It would make a great pattern for girls as well,

what a great idea! I toyed with the idea of attaching the shorts directly to the skirts, but they also love to wear tights on occassion so decided against it, but for summer that would be perfect!

I've been making golf skorts with an attached matching, cotton-crotch lined panty instead of the usual shorts found in commercial skorts. It is much cooler and provides the right amount of modesty. Both patterns are from QwikSew; the panty from their Sewing Beautiful Lingerie book, the skort from a new pattern.
